How do I change the battery in my Timex Iron Man Triathlon? I removed the 4 screws in the back but cannot remove the cover because of the overlap of the wrist band.
Re: How do I change the battery in my Timex Iron Man...
You will need to remove the wrist first before the cover will come out.Else pull the wrist out and allow it to leave a gap and then you can move the cover out.

Hi, You may know that this watch runs on two batteries, one
for digital display and another for analog hands. If the analog hands
stop working all you need to do is to replace the battery and please replace both at the same time since the band and cover take some effort
to remove. You need to take off the both bands first to access the back side than the back cover with a small knife.. Just in case,if you need the user manual here is the link. Timex watch: http://www.timex.com/info/Product_Instruction_Guides_Downloads . Take care.. Regards
Thank you for contacting FIxYa.
Turn your Timex Ironman face down and remove the four screws holding the back cover in place.
Remove the back case cover by gently prying it up with your screwdriver. Be careful to avoid disrupting any electrical contacts with the tip of your screwdriver.
Remove the interior sticker that covers the battery by lifting it up with the tip of your screwdriver. It should come off relatively easily. At this point the small circular battery should be visible in the compartment.
Lift up the small metal clip (battery strap) that covers the battery using the tip of your screwdriver.
Remove the battery from its housing and replace it with your new battery (available at any electronics store or online). Reassemble the watch in the same way you to took it apart.

OR take to a professional jewelry store/watchmaker.
Good luck.
You will need to look for any screws holding down a plate over the battery. Sometimes these only need to be loosened and sometimes they have to be removed. Sometimes the plate can be lifter slightly and the battery slide out from underneath. I hope this helps you. Best luck
good morning ! remove the spring bar carefuly to remove the band on your timex data link ! use screw driver to open the case back ! be verry careful to do that ! thanks !god bless !....
The Timex Ironman manual and website says to take the watch to a repair facility. Nope! Do it yourself!
How to replace the battery in a Timex Ironman watch:
This is easier if you remove one of the rubbery wrist bands.
1. Take note of the position of the metal back cover. You'll need to reinstall it exactly as you see it in order to hear the alarm.
2. Remove the four screws that hold the metal back cover, and pry off the cover.
3. There is a round metal clip that holds the battery in place, covered with a transparent plastic cover which likely says, "Unlatch to remove battery". Within the center of each clip, there's a small opening just large enough for a straight pin to be inserted. A jewelers screwdrive won't work - use a straight pin. Insert a straight pin into the tiny opening at the edge of the clip, and wiggle it. The clip should release. You'll only need to unlatch one side of the battery retaining ring.
4. Gently pry up the batter retaining clip, then pry up the battery. Insert new battery.
5. Replace the clip.
6. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into a slot which has two "electrodes" or pins - they need to be shorted with the screwdriver to reset the watch. Just touch the screwdriver blade across the two pins to short it.
7. Reinstall the back cover but be sure to position the cover so the alarm sounding place ( a small disc attached to the inside back cover) will reside over the sounding spring.
